8 Must-See Solo Gallery Shows in February

Rounding up the top gallery exhibitions across the United States each month, Galerie traveled from the East Coast to the West Coast with a stop in the Midwest to showcase the best solo shows for February. From Gregor Hildebrandt’s immersive installation of thousands of cut colored record tiles interpreting iconic stained-glass windows at Perrotin in New York and Lui Shtini’s anthropomorphic sculptures and paintings that blur the lines between abstraction and figuration at Chicago’s Corbett vs. Dempsey, to Rebecca Manson’s sculptures of butterfly wings and flowers made of thousands of hand-shaped, glazed porcelain pieces at Jessica Silverman in San Francisco, these are the not-to-be-missed shows this month.

Regina Silveira | Alexander Gray Associates, New York

A renowned Brazilian artist based in São Paulo, Regina Silveira is famous for her innovative installations that transform space, perception, and light. As a major figure in post-conceptual Latin American art, she is especially recognized for her work with skiagraphia, the study of shadows, where she creates large-scale optical illusions by distorting the shadows of everyday objects. She works with site-specific vinyl cutouts and digital projections on buildings, streets, and parks. Though rooted in graphic arts like printmaking and drawing, she also explores video, embroidery, porcelain, and virtual reality.

The gallery’s “Latin American Puzzle” exhibition features the 1997 vinyl cutout To Be Continued… from the artist’s Latin American Puzzle series, along with the latest version from 2025, appropriately titled Continued….Equally impressive, both works feature 110 large, interlocking jigsaw pieces. Of these, 100 pieces in each display a bold image that represents the region’s diverse cultures, histories, and landscapes. Building on her long-standing exploration of image circulation, Silveira combines iconic figures and key events with symbols from popular culture, sports, and the arts, as well as maps, flora, and fauna. Through these vivid contrasts, Silveira emphasizes the complexities and contradictions that shape Latin America’s shared and evolving stories.
